Club Charisma XXX is the home exotic dancer turned porno star Charisma Cappelli. At a mere 5'2" tall and 115 pounds, this country gal straight out of the hills of Kentucky manages to pack one hell of a wallop. She claims she's had a talent for riding horses since she was a young girl, and while I can't speak to how good she is at ridin' the fillies, I can assure you that she is a true champion when it comes to ridin' fellas. And if that ain't enough to rope ya in, those tour promises of HD videos and over 40 bonus sites surely ought to.

If you are going to design a site around yourself, it's a safe bet that you are going to need a little extra, perhaps some intangible quality that the competition lacks. Webster's Dictionary defines charisma as "a special magnetic charm or appeal." Well, after watching hours of her footage, I can honestly say that Charisma Cappelli is chock full o' that.

She also another certain intangible quality unique to those hailing from a certain region of the United States: southern charm. And it's this quality that not only shines through in every episode, but also contrasts beautifully with the naughty, nasty things she does on film.

In her very debut scene, posted in late 2010, we see a very candid portrait of this southern belle; It opens with a closeup of a seemingly humble — perhaps even slightly nervous — Capppelli doing her best to smile pretty for the camera as loud rock music blairs from some unseen stereo. After a brief pause she says, "Hi, for alll my fans that have not been able to come out and see me feature dance, I'm here to give you a little taste of what I do at my stage shows." And in an instant she transforms from that unassuming small town girl into a bonafide sexpot, pulling off moves that take training, dedication, and a whole lot of flexbility. Charismatic indeed.

Things quickly began to escalate after that first update, too. Admittedly, this archive has its fair share of solo and lesbian scenes, but this gal has shown a strong willingness — perhaps even need — to explore. I saw the first signs of this in her girl-on-girl encounters, where she effortlessly went from sub-to-dom and back again in the blink of an eye. And although she has that uncanny ability to switch-hit, Charisma Cappelli's true calling seems to be the more domineering role. And don't even get me started on her M/F scenes.

Oh, and she's not averse to getting truly freaky, either. For proof of this, look no further than scenes like My Outdoor Pee and Cocksmoking BJ. Hell, she even has a cerebral side, as evidenced by an early scene entitled Erotic Reading, which shows her lounging poolside, enjoying the company of no doubt a fine book, and rubbing her clit with vigor while taking in all that fine prose. Yes, Ms. Cappelli is truly a multi-faceted porno star.

What about playback quality and resolutions, you ask? Well, as I mentioned earlier, the site launched in 2010, so it should come as no big surprise that some of these older scenes don't exactly feature the finest playback. The latest scenes, however, are available in 720p and 1080p Windows Media and MPEG-4 files. The former actually looked surprisingly grainy, but the latter had great encoding and looked superb. The files can be quite large, but since download speeds average around just under 5 megs-per-second, that should not be an issue.

I should mention, however, that I did notice odd notice one extremely peculiar thing: there were scenes mixed in the middle of the archive that weren't available in HD at all. It makes no sense for quality to suddenly drop, then shoot back up dramatically, so this really left me at a loss.

To be perfectly honest, the photo galleries were a bit of a letdown. First off, the image count from gallery-to-gallery varies dramatically, with some sets having less than 20 photos and others having over 100. Also, the images are available in only one resolution, and while it's above average, it's a far cry from the high-res shots you can find on other single model sites.

I can overlook mediocre photos, though. Hell, they didn't even make any promises of high-res photographs on the tour. What is much harder to overlook, however, is the fact that this site hasn't updated in nearly a year.

But all is not lost. Membership at Club Charisma XXX includes to the Pornstar Platinum network, which houses 40 sites, many of which focusing on other very popular, perhaps equally talented young porn stars and glam models. Which, if you ask me, is a mighty enticing deal at the current price of admission.

Charisma Cappelli is certainly a charming, talented young lady, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a kick out of that delicious juxtaposition of southern charm and supreme nastiness. That having been said, the inconsistent video quality coupled with the fact that this site has not updated in over 6 months makes Club Charisma XXX difficult to recommend. But don't run off just yet — membership here includes access to 40 bonus sites, many of which showcase the talents of other, perhaps equally talented, porn stars.
